PIC Programmer K150
About PIC Programmer K150
This device is obsolete and not compatible with MPLab X (new PIC development tool), so you will have to export files in HEX format from MPLab X and import to DIY application which has released last version in 2007. For small projects I believe this device for 9 USD from E-Bay (Chinese resellers) is fine but for more advanced development is recommended usage of PICKit 3. Before you will buy this device I strongly recommend you to visit DIY Site (Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150) and download latest DIYpack25ep.zip (Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150) file. Also you will need USB driver for K150 devices (which is different from recommended on DIY site) for Profilic USB to Serial converter (Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150). Please also be informed that Profilic USB to Serial converter mounted on K150 boards supports only Windows up to version 7. Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 won't work!
